That’s true, but he was by far the most entertaining visiting rider I saw last season (missed Bewley’s visits). Im guessing the plan is that Kildemand or Lawson will hopefully progress and step up to No 1. But Pickering is a rider I’d happily pay to watch at Lynn.

Cook to Sheffield, Pickering to Lynn.

Rowe would be incredible as rising star slot as been excellent at Lynn previously. Not sure how Kildemand’s been performing since he was last over here. Last average I can find is 7.10 for Poole in 2018. Well worth a punt on that. Richie is an interesting shout. Has done really well at Lynn previously and pretty consistent away. Kerr at reserve is a big plus. Wouldn't be unhappy watching that side each week.

Hopefully someone better than that tbh. Would just be another Ryan Kinsley all over again.

Pickering 7.38 (if average on Sheffield thread is correct) Nicol 5.44 (done well at Lynn before and had previously signed but not ridden) Cook 7.05 Jorgensen 6.46 Lawson 7.21 Kerr 5.28 38.82 if I’ve done the 2.5% average reductions correctly.

Agree about that. Musielak would have fitted that mould perfectly but they wouldn’t pay what’s required.

To be fair, a mate said exactly the same to me. Can’t disagree Don't really see Bjerre coming back to Lynn. Don’t think either he or the club enjoyed it last time round. Think he’d be more likely to go to Peterborough and either MPT or Harris moved to Lynn (not Ostergaard before Flappy starts)

https://www.lynnnews.co.uk/sport/i-know-the-top-five-we-have-got-for-next-season-and-there-w-9227049/ Wonder who Lawson is hinting at here. Josh Pickering is the obvious candidate as he was excellent on both visits. Maybe squeezed out of Sheffield with them going for a top three of Holder, Ellis & Musielak?

Certainly what I’ve been told. Played a part in why Cook was released and why Lawson didn’t sign at the start of last season. Guess Cook is running out of options though if he wants to ride in the top league. Sheffield, Ipswich & Peterborough look sorted. Burnt his bridges with Belle Vue promotion by all accounts. Wolves will probably go with most of last year’s side, so that leaves us.

Great point, makes a bit more sense now.

I’ll 100% trust your judgment on that because the stuff I’d been told about riders moving (Doyle, Riss, Mountain etc) you already knew

Pretty sure he’d still do a decent job if fit enough. There aren’t an abundance of heatleaders just waiting for a team spot.

Wonder if Iversen could be tempted back and maybe Harris from the Panthers? Certainly got some points to play with, just getting the riders in to fill them. Iversen 7.54 (average from 2019) Kerr 5.54 Lawson 7.18 Jorgensen 5.89 Harris 6.84 Total : 32.99 Leaves 6.01 for last team place. Would be a big plus to have Kerr starting at reserve.

Looks like Mountain is off to Sheffield as mentioned above. Really can’t get my head round that one.

Ipswich funded by Tru-7 group would be my guess.

I’ve heard he’s going the other way in East Anglia. Sure one of us will be right

Embarrassing end to an embarrassing season. 2019 was bad enough but this was right up there with the crap from the mid 80’s Hopefully there was a bit of average reduction going on from Kerr and Jorgensen because if that’s the best they’ve got, it doesn’t bode well for 2022 being much better.

And you'll still win

Don’t think Lawson and Cook are big fans of each other so I doubt Cook will be back next year.

RIP Phil. Speedway has lost a great friend. Always enjoyed reading his posts on this forum.

Josh Pickering and Cam Heeps both wow for very differing reasons. Pickering absolutely superb. Very fast and aggressive, so good to watch. Hopefully we gave him a contract for 2022 before he left tonight. As for Heeps, possibly the most pathetic performance I’ve ever seen from a supposed top 5 rider. Hopefully we’ll never have to see him in a Stars team ever again. Utter s**te

Hope everything goes well mate and we do well enough to not need a last heat decider.

Bit of a left field appointment but good luck Alex, hope it works out well.

Think Kerr signed a 2 year deal at the start of the season. The thing we desperately need is to find a Number 1 from somewhere.

Yeah mentioned 7 hours ago if you actually bothered to read the thread
